A Sermon on Malt.

The Rev. Mr.. Dodd, very werthy min.
lister, who lived few miles from Cam
bridge, had rendered himself obnoxious 10
many of the drunken Cantabs by frequent
preaching against drunkenness, several Of
whom meeting him on a journey, they
determined to make him preach in hol-
low tree which was near the roadside. Ac-
cordingly. addressing him in great appar.
ent politeness, they asked him IL he had
not lately preached much against drunk
enness. On his replying in the affirma.
tive, they insisted that he should now
preach from the text of their choosing.
In vain did he demonstrate on the unrea.
sonableness of expecting him to give them
a discourse without study and in such
place; they were determined to take no
denial, and the word malt was given
him by way of text, on which he imme-
diately delivered himself as follows:
Beloved, let me crave your attention.
| am little man come at short warning
to preach short sermon from small
subject, in an unworthy pulpit, to slen-
der congregation. Beloved, my text Is

the thing meant is the juice of malt, which
you Cantabs take. The Literal is accord
ing to the effects that IL works and these
find to be of two kinds first, in this
world secondly. in the world to come.
The effects that it works in this are, in
some. M-murder in the others. A.
adultery in all, L-looseness of life; and
and in some, T-treason The effects that
it works in the world to come are, M

the main deck, and by an iron door enter
the engine compartment. A bunch Of

Carefully we descend the iron stairs, keep

sudden lurch of the ship should precipi-
tate us among the great levers and cranks
that weave with relentless speed. Like
the hinge monsters of n nightmare. they
would grind their teeth and tear their vic
tim limb from limb. At every stroke Of
the piston a cold shower bath thrown
upon the bearings prevents the masses Of
metal from becoming heated.
Through a dim alley in the hold runs
the steel shaft, extending from engine to
screw, each of whose sixty revolutions a
minute drives the enormous :ron ship near
" thirty feet ahead in rhe sea. Here in
side room are the dynamos for electric
lights of the incandescent arc pattern dis
tributed throughout the ship.
ssBe careful" says the captain as we
enter a dark passage etween the hot fur

credited to Helen Hunt, friend who

at the expense of the gallant commander
of the United States Army, Gen. Sheridan
When all of the seats in the tall-ho had
been taken except one. and Mrs. Clevland
had mounted the drivers box and was
ready to give the horses their heads, Cen
eral Sheridan was invited to occupy the
vacant seat. "Who is to drive usl ask
ed the General, as he glanced up at the
fair occupant of the drivers scat. He
was informed that Mrs. Clevland would
hold the ribbons Then I'll go In the
next carriage" said the hero of Winches-
ter, who had faced many belching bat
terry without tremor, but who hesitated
at the prospect of tumble in ditch, SO
President Roberts. of the Pennsylvania
Rrailroad, climed into the vacant seat
and was whirIed safely to the depot,
while the man who had made the most
dashing and reckles ride of the war to
save his army was drawn sedately in the
rear.

Fight it Out and Success Will Come.

We take the following extracts
from il letter written by IL farmer of
of this neighborhood, showing his
views us to the condition of affairs:
I'VE have been having very dry
weather and all rains seem to go
around us. Wheat. oats and barley,
pretty we'll used up and will not yield
more than half II crop; or. potatoes
and vines looking we'll and promise
good returns. Some people are dis
heartened and not much wonder, but
what are we to do! pull up md lose
all our labor! l say no,
try again. Illinois. Wisconsin and
Minnesota are having more drouth
than we are and if We give UP here
we may II into Il worse drouth next
year in almost any of the states east
of us. l will give you little of my
experience. In the year 1858 l was
in Iowa in May and June and the rain
fell more OF less every day, or nearly
SO. but wheat, oats and corn were put
in. hut we raised no corn. chintZ bugs
took our wheat, and oats only averaged
ten bushels. The same year drouth
i'm Kansas burned up everything,
some left, others remained i'll a state
of starvation and the people east sent
them money and provisions. n few
years after they had IL second drouth
and IL farmer that Travelled over the
state told me it would never be any
thing but Il dry desert, now it is
among the best farming states. The
same can be said of Buffalo Valley,
Nebraska. Well, what are we going
to do? l can only speak for ourselves.
We owe the railroad company for
seed furnished. | will farm what l
can. my son will go out and work and
il we fail to have grain to pay, he will
earl money to pay the company and
help Oh the farm. Secretary Lamar
recently rendered Il decision that set.
tiers have a right TO so out and work
if necessary to earn II living and stay
until their claims will support them.
We are here; let us stick and fight it
out on this line and srccess will
come.
